Ed do you know if Celtic were actually interested in Iheanacho? If so did Middlesboro just offer him more money? A bit embarrassing losing out to them if true and BR will rightly be raging.

HenriksTongue

{Ed007's Note - It was Iheanacho's agent that "leaked" we were interested in him which was probably just to force other interested team's to firm up their offers. As far as I know nobody from Celtic spoke to his agent.}

Loan move for Ferguson from Brighton with option to extend. He's fallen down the pecking order and needs game time. Apparently Desmond and BR are big fans.

I seen him scoring a hat trick in the EPL last season.
A big strong lad.


2.) 27 Jan 2024 10:13:55
That the same Ferguson that Chelsea are interested in for £100m?


3.) 27 Jan 2024 10:44:44
Not a chance.


4.) 27 Jan 2024 10:53:56
Utter nonsense . ???.


5.) 27 Jan 2024 11:10:19
Well he going to Spurs so that's that put to bed not that it was ever happening spurs swapping Bryan Gil plus cash apparently.


6.) 27 Jan 2024 19:57:45
Definitely should be after someone like him! 19 and would bully Goldson etc! Push the boat out and bring him in - then build a team around him. He's affordable if the board care enough to give us what we deserve. Ferguson and Mctominay in, CCV signed up long term and then bring in another world class GK like De Gea and the blue side of Glasgow won't know what's him them. I'd also like to move Abada on and bring another player in as he's never going to be happy here now.


7.) 28 Jan 2024 15:31:33
Regiblinkered is a very apt name after that post hahaha. Ferguson is a 50million plus pound striker. Might as well talk about signing mbappe while your at it.


8.) 28 Jan 2024 19:18:00
Mbappe and Ferguson in the same sentence is wild, Cory mate. Ferguson is gettable - we sold Jota for 25m, we could be selling O'Reilly for 30m + - why can't we go spend that money on Ferguson, Mctominay, and pay De Gea to get him back into football? It's clear the board don't care here.

If Ange is to get the job does Ed or anyone else know who his backroom team are likely to be?

HenriksTongue

{Ed007's Note - Apparently Celtic have agreed compensation for Ange Postecoglou along with Shaun Ontong and John Hutchinson - them and Kennedy & WGS Jnr?}


1.) 03 Jun 2021 19:03:15
Lennedy must have something on DD. We keep hearing he's rated highly yet when he had his chance he blew it by playing the same players formation and tactics.


2.) 03 Jun 2021 19:38:34
Ed do you know if the Celtic women's team coach has a full UEFA licence? If so I would rather have him in the dug out until Ange gets the all clear or necessary licences And have Ange in the dug out also rather than LENNEDY.

{Ed007's Note - I've no idea if Fran Alonso has them, Tony.}


3.) 03 Jun 2021 21:14:35
I think Fran Alonso has U. E. F. A Pro License in progress, and U. E. F. A A License.


4.) 04 Jun 2021 11:26:27
I am 99% sure as long as your coaching team has them your ok.


5.) 04 Jun 2021 12:21:55
What makes you 99z% sure.


6.) 04 Jun 2021 15:40:42
I do know Gerrard didn't have all his badges when he started with Sevco.


7.) 04 Jun 2021 16:06:22
Regardless of h9w good Ange is, it will depend on the budget to replace rubbish for good. 8f he isn't backed he will fail because we need quality and thst costs. Quality and cost two sweaty world's with our board of cheapskate punt lovers.


8.) 04 Jun 2021 17:28:10
Apparently Kevin Muscat is joining backroom team.


9.) 04 Jun 2021 17:45:24
Magic, agreed, and if anything I believe the club will need to go even bigger with the budget to give Big Ange even a smell of a chance. He's coming from the other side of the world and whilst he may know one or two players he'd like to bring with him I would hope the bulk of them will be players who have been playing in Europe for a few years and who can produce the goods whilst he gets up to speed.
However, as you say, Celtic FC and spending money is not normally a good mix. HH.


10.) 04 Jun 2021 18:03:59
dnn38, I saw that too but it's one of many rumours but doesn't seem to have any real substance. YET!
Nothing would surprise me though. If he does come it wouldn't be a problem, he was never a real Sev anyway and if Big Ange thinks he's good enough then he must be. HH.


11.) 04 Jun 2021 18:44:48
Would not have that guy anywhere near the club. Not good enough as a manager . and well as a player he made Terry Hurlock look like the fairy godmother.


 

 

23 Nov 2020 15:54:56
Another website is claiming a very well placed source told him Lennon was on a final warning after the last sevco game. Now O'Neill, Keane and Howe have been contacted and interest has come back from at least one of them.

Dunno how much to believe but Id like to think Lennon's time is up.

I must also say I love Lennon and he should never have been given the job permanently. If he goes I'm sure we will all wish him the very best. It's not not worked out.

HenriksTongue

1.) 23 Nov 2020 18:17:21
If that was his final warning; there was a draw at Pittodrie, a 1-4 home defeat to Sparta Prague and then Saturdays' draw at Hibs since then, so he must be on his, final, final, final warning.


2.) 23 Nov 2020 18:54:06
Read that website and must admit it sounds like pish tae me! Yellow card after the currants game, and since then we’ve been been woeful! Topped off by a pathetic performance against Sparta Prague! Can’t see how that can happen!


3.) 23 Nov 2020 22:12:46
I was surprised to see him writing about celtic when I got sent a link. He’s an expert on all things sevco. Wouldn’t give anything he writes a second thought.


4.) 23 Nov 2020 23:40:56
Report claims Lennon staying with board backing him Herald sport.


5.) 24 Nov 2020 08:11:45
I’m afraid that’s the most likely outcome here rich with Kennedy taking the reigns a close second, neither gives me any confidence and definitely won’t inspire the players, we need a clean break.


 

 

06 Jul 2020 06:07:54
Any truth in the Nicky Pope rumours? Would make a good headline if nothing else haha.

HenriksTongue

1.) 06 Jul 2020 08:20:48
Burnley Keeper Nick Pope? No chance we will sign him, he'll be England's no. 1 for the next few years and will move to a top 4 team down south.

I haven't seen him play so have no idea how good Kvistgaarden actually is. Does anyone know much about him? Could it be that actually he's not an improvement, and money could be better spent if we wait until summer?
Ed, always appreciate your opinion. Do you believe the board have assured BR that he'll get his targets in the summer? Or do you think he'll be raging about this window and will look at his own options come end of season?

HenriksTongue

{Ed007's Note - I think Rodgers will be fuming but it'll be whatever happens in the summer window that will be the tipping point on whether he sees his future here.}


1.) 04 Feb 2025 13:48:47
I don’t know why he’d stay. I mean what sort of ambition are we showing? Is making it out of the group stages seen as enough? Don’t get me wrong it’s great for the club to get here, but I feel like we’re writing off our chances far too early. What message is that sending to the players who believe they can go on and play for some of these teams? Why would top talent come to us if our ambition maxes out at last 24?

I’m not saying go out and needlessly buy, but it’s a scary message we’re sending when we let go of 6 or 7 players and only bring back a guy who hasn’t played in 18months and a 32yr old loan.

Trying to get off my perch here, but really disappointed at the lack of ambition we’ve shown.


2.) 04 Feb 2025 19:28:36
Here2McStay . You could very well be right but like the rest of us all you know is the result, ie that we didn’t get the striker we definitely wanted to sign . Our CEO and BR have more details of why we failed to get the result we craved, without that knowledge I just don’t know whether it is reasonable for BR to not renew his contract . I expect him to remain for his final year.

Which nationality has given up the most success re. transfers? In other words, more successes than failures. I think we've had a good record with Germans, Japanese, and Swedes.
Conversely, which has been the worst?

HenriksTongue

1.) 28 Jan 2025 15:27:57
Brazil.


2.) 28 Jan 2025 15:49:48
I reckon we have also done well with English and Irish lads, but the worst could be Brazil! Whomever scouted and sanctioned that fellah should have been made to pay for him. Rafael the Jobby.


3.) 28 Jan 2025 16:05:30
Brazilian.


4.) 28 Jan 2025 16:35:24
Literally any South Americans have been terrible for us, clearly a clash of cultures as I don't believe they are bad players (Bernabei case in point) .

On numbers alone the best has to be English or Irish, but Portugal has been pretty good to us, as has Netherlands. But looking for a leftfield claim how about Israel.


5.) 28 Jan 2025 18:21:59
Surely you mean rightish, Gerry!


6.) 28 Jan 2025 18:48:58
Wales.


7.) 28 Jan 2025 20:04:37
Wales as the worst Jonbhoy? We had Hartson, Bellamy, Ledley and to a lesser extent Matthews.


8.) 28 Jan 2025 20:37:16
Sorry I was going for Wales as the best, because of the players you listen DLBA.
to be honest i never read the vlast line on the original post LOL.


 

 

14 Jan 2025 21:57:38
Not good enough once again. Not enough shots, same old predictable build up and over-passing. We need to be forcing errors by their defence and gk but taking shot and following up the 2nd ball.

Defensively weak - Trusty should never be getting beat for their 3rd.

HenriksTongue

 

 

14 Jan 2025 16:20:57
Seen there's a new rule to stop ball boys giving the ball to players, and instead place them on cones. Surely designed to slow us down and will have a detrimental effect on fast flowing football.

HenriksTongue

{Ed007's Note - Is it not a FIFA/UEFA directive?}


1.) 14 Jan 2025 16:49:43
I've seen them at all games lately.

{Ed007's Note - ????


2.) 14 Jan 2025 18:45:05
I didn't know that Ed, only read an article saying it was spfl. Woke nonsense if you ask me.

{Ed007's Note - It's to cut down on the chances of more than one ball being on the pitch at any one time, home ball boys being a bit slow returning the ball, stuff like that. The ball boys now just have to make sure there are balls on the cones, there are 5 cones at each side of the pitch & 2 at each end.
Does it count as "woke"? ?


3.) 14 Jan 2025 19:06:23
Not a woke - just a ball ache.

{Ed007's Note - ???


4.) 14 Jan 2025 20:52:06
Watching the first half tonight it actually works quite well so I stand corrected. It does cut out the banter aspect which is woke as haha.


 

 

08 Jan 2025 17:55:03
Does anyone know what the craic is with weekend of 7th Feb for fixtures? I don't see any but don't know why not.

HenriksTongue

{Ed007's Note - That's the 5th round of the Scottish Cup weekend HT.}


1.) 08 Jan 2025 18:16:26
Cheers Ed!

So true cavalcanti ? For some reason I remember that excited feeling when he signed Gary Hooper. And he turned out alright.

Ed, their leagues are more competitive than ours is. I don't know what the answer is unfortunately - apart from possibly a breakaway super league for the so called big clubs, leaving the rest of us to be closer financially perhaps?

Maeda, its me being cynical. But did they truly believe NL was an upgrade or suitable replacement for BR? The Covid season was a disgrace from pre-season and only confirmed my thoughts about getting the 10. Like it or not, the league is stronger when its more competitive. To attract good players we need to dangle a carrot in the form of Glasgow Derbies and Champions league games.

We may well get 9 but 10 is not going to happen, in my opinion. It would completely destroy them and I don't believe the guys at the top truly want that.

Can't see us getting a result. Aston villa are a very decent side. But a loss could turn out a better result than a draw - depending on all permutations. Hail hail.

HenriksTongue

{Ed007's Note - There's more Celtic fans confident of an (easy) Aston Villa win than their own actual fans.}
